Dense forest with rich in flora and fauna, less human
explored. This place is Known to the people by the malayam movie
"ordinary". Two buses from pathanamtitta, one in the early morning 6:30
am and afternoon 1:30 pm. Buses goes via gavi to kumily. Buses reaches
to gavi at 11am and the same bus returns at 3:30pm in the afternoon.
Fare is 93 rupees.
Bamboo trees Welcome's you throughout
the way by giving shake hands through the bus Windows. Never prefer to
travel in private vehicle. U will miss the fun with the forest. Driver
and conductor are friendly. They will slow down the bus to show the
animals. Wild buffaloes, elephants, nilagiri langur, birds. Almost four
hours journey in the jungle. This place is best for nature lovers and
bird watchers. If you are stuck in modern world, you can't enjoy this
place. Better don't go. Climate is 20-26 c throughout the day. Forest
department is maintaining packages to promote eco tourism. To book
online Visit gaviecotourism.com if you would like to spend money and to
stay in nights in jungle. I prefer not to. Private vehicles need to take
permission to pass through. Periyar tiger reserve starts 10km before
reaching gavi and spread till kumily area.
Never go into
the dams, stick to roads. Leaches sucks your blood. Carry food from home
or bus stops at aanamuzhi before entering the gavi forest, have and
carry food. 3-4 hours of jungle ride begins with no human life. You find
only one grocery shop at gavi, there you get only bread, biscuits and
banana. No hotels. No mobile network.
